Today’s Top Pick is a 1979 Piper PA-32-300 Cherokee Six.

When a pilot needs to move a half a dozen people and their gear, few single-engine pistons can answer the call like the Piper Cherokee Six.

This 1979 PA-32-300 model is an example of the utility and performance that has made the aircraft a mainstay in GA for decades. It represents a fantastic opportunity for anyone seeking a serious personal or business transportation solution.

The true genius of the Cherokee Six lies in its cavernous cabin and impressive load-hauling capability. This isn’t just a “4+2” airplane. It’s a true six-seater, and this specific aircraft’s club seating arrangement transforms the cabin into a comfortable, interactive space for passengers on long cross-country flights. 

The airframe has 9,283 hours of total time, a testament to its durable design. More importantly, its heart is nearly new, with a factory-remanufactured engine with only 192 hours. The propeller is in perfect sync, also with 192 hours since its last overhaul. This combination offers the next owner peace of mind and countless hours of flying before a major engine inspection is due.

With a Garmin GTX 345 providing ADS-B In and Out, this aircraft is fully equipped for today’s airspace.

The aircraft’s exterior presents a classic and clean look, with a Matterhorn white base accented by forest green and Las Vegas gold metallic stripes. Inside, the inviting sandalwood tan leather interior and six-place club seating create a premium and comfortable environment for pilot and passengers alike.

Offered at $350,000, this 1979 Piper PA-32-300 Cherokee Six represents a significant value, blending a proven airframe with a fresh engine and top-tier avionics package.
